Thy Karting Center

In Hanstholm, in Thy at the north-west tip of Jutland, the Thy Karting Center is run by the Thy Motorsport club, which lays claim to the longest karting track in the Nordic countries, at one thousand two hundred and thirty metres. Laid out in 1993, this large outdoor circuit belongs to the club and hosts both training and competition, in a region known for its wide open spaces.

Beyond karting, the site keeps several motorsport disciplines alive, from motorcycle racing to car orienteering rally, under the Danish federations. You drive in a club setting, by membership, with a focus on competition and on passing on the sport between generations of drivers. Active since the early 1990s, the club regularly holds races that shape its season.

Hanstholm is a fishing port on the north-west coast, in Thy, the first region of Denmark designated a national park, made of dunes, heath and a wild North Sea. Nearby, Klitmøller and its surf spot nicknamed Cold Hawaii draw wave lovers. The Thy Karting Center adds a large open-air circuit, among the longest in the country, in a preserved natural setting of northern Jutland. You drive in a club, by membership, and access depends on the calendar of training and races, best checked in advance. The long layout and the wild setting of Thy make it a destination apart for enthusiasts ready to head up to the northern tip of Jutland.
